LINK is currently around 9.5u. I’m bullish on this move, but I won’t chase directly at this level.
First, the money. On the spot side, the 3-hour net inflow is close to 2 million LINK, and all 12 candles are green. Also, those large orders haven’t been broken in a single one—this kind of data is genuinely rare lately. The price also agrees: in the past 24 hours it’s rallied 7 points, repairing from 8.16 up to 9.5. The daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour trends are all pointing upward. Sentiment is bullish too—ETF inflows, CCIP institutional implementations, and similar narratives are everywhere. In the last 24 hours, long posts have been throwing aside the shorts by a large margin.
But I’m not rushing in. A few things to watch: on the futures side, active trading volume has shrunk by 40% over 7 hours, while open interest is still climbing. Fees have also turned positive—this short-term push feels somewhat propped up by leverage. Whale accounts are net long, but their long positions have been decreasing for 7 hours, and big players are trimming as price rises. On top of that, ADX is still sitting low with trend strength generally average, while volatility has spiked. This kind of structure most easily produces a wick/pin.
In plain terms: the direction isn’t the problem, but the current price is hugging the 24-hour high at 9.75, so the chase has mediocre risk-reward. The key is the pullback—around 9.4, if the two short moving averages can hold and catch price, then there’s still play; if not, then we’ll just watch.
Wait for a pullback confirmation—then it’s more comfortable to go all in than it is right now.
